If that fender addition is in addition to the factory fender, and doesnt involve the removal/modding of the factory fender lip for installation, you are still going to be limited to the original specs for wheel fitmant on the IS. Maybe consider cutting the factory fender, and moulding the Wald fender, essentially creating a "wide-body" IS???? That is, if your trying to get crazy with the wheel/tire widths....

I would be mis-informing if I tried to answer that. One of our members, John(Lexus_IS300), who you know as well, did the Blitz Z1's in 19x8 235's, 19x10 265's with fender mod. I believe he rolled and pulled......
GS4Will, Manaray, Lee2375, SoCal are among THE best resources youll find on this board for these questions.....Keep bumping this thread until one of them chimes in and gives you an answer......Tiny

Oh, and see the license plate, thats your que as to what wheel it is.....Versus Spada in gunmetal finish.... Here are available sizes and the web site for the global distributor of Rays wheels.....:
http://www.mackinindustries.com/spada.html
17 x 7.0 +32 +38 +42 4 100/114.3
+32* +38 +42 +48 5 100/114.3
18 x 7.5 +42 4 100/114.3
+42 +52 5 100/114.3
19 x 8.0 +30 +40 +48 4 114.3
+30 +40 +48 5 100/114.3
Standard color is silver, gun metal, and white.
Asterisk "*" denotes non-high pad wheel.
